Let us run a grant program for you
Get more done without hiring staff
The Trust can run a full-service grantmaking program for you. Our staff can identify and select nonprofits; conduct due diligence and site visits; administer the grants and associated paperwork; monitor and evaluate the impact of the work; and create summary reports for your foundation.

More money for grantmaking, less hassle
Running a private foundation takes time, is an administrative and compliance burden, and requires money in upkeep that could be going to grants. The Trust can manage it all for you. Our professional grantmakers can ensure your funds continue to have maximum impact. The fund or funds can bear your name, honor your charitable goals, and be fully customized.
Join others to make a bigger impact
Find others who care about your causes
We have funder collaboratives focused on democracy, environment, workforce development, immigration, and more. They are a great way to pool knowledge around an issue. We welcome you to join one of our collaboratives.
